Forensic Fire Investigation

A thorough analysis of the materials, structures, products, people, and component failures involved in the incident is the only means of accurately deriving conclusive results. At ATS, our seasoned professional investigators respond immediately, executing a comprehensive forensic fire investigation from initial on-site inspection through judicial proceedings.
